WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THERE ARE ALWAYS NUMEROUS DIFFERENT TYPE OF PATTERNS ASIDE OF MY FAVORITE TOO-MANY USED LEOPARD PRINT. DON'T YOU THINK THOSE ETHNIC PATTENRS ARE STUNNING? ENRICH YOUR STYLE WITH PATTERNED SKIRTS AND DRESS- WHY NOT MATCH UP WITH THE BASIC SHIRTS I PREVIOUSLY INTRODUCED?



Back to Basic



YES we do get tired time to time of all the crazy prints and decorations of clothes. So why not go back and try basic shirts and simple style to mild up your look? This time, our Inspiration comes from Alexander Wang, his beautiful collection where he uses simple palette of colors and keep the purity of the clothes and its meaning. Keep minimum amount of what you need to be stylish.

Studio YAYA



Here I introduce Studio YAYA, online mini photo community which consists of three members, Doyo, Mago and Kae. I got to know this group of people through one cosplay site. Doyo started as a cosplay model but then she became interested into photography and here it is- Doyo and her fellow's photo sites. All of their photos are very beautiful. My favorite is definitely Doyo's. Her photos have stories. It's a story that is sometimes happy, nostalgic, and sad. There is something about her photo always intrigues me. It's very sensitive- I guess I can explain her photo as watercolor, and those calm Japanese movies. Have you ever seen director Iwai Shunji's film? Her photo matches with his poetic style. Here are some of her photos I love the most.



Her magical story photos- This is incredibly beautiful..


This is Doyo herself. She takes photos of herself quite often. This is my favorite pick!
Just love her face expression. :)




Doesn't this photo reminds you of the story "Subaru"?

Show Windows




 I love interesting visual displays of different stores. It's so much fun to see what will be on the display since many stores around the world seek to attract the viewers by visual display- where fashion finally meets art. According to personal interest in study of visual display, I always go around different places and document the show windows. Or, I also go on websites to see those views from different countries, where I cannot visit at the moment. Among every city around the world, my favorite realm of show windows comes from Omotesando, Aoyama- Japan.





Back in my country, I used to really love Louis Vuitton show windows since they often have pretty brilliant ideas- and my interest in their visual design began when few artists really stepped up in this industry- specifically, Murakami Takashi and Olafur Eliasson. Those two artists are on my top 20 favorite artists and as I see how their works are absorbed into prestigious brand such as Louis Vuitton, I just can't help but become super interested in those as well.




 

Super adorable Murakami Takashi's visual display for Louis Vuitton.
Isn't it incredible? 

 
 Classic Ralph Lauren show window. It looks so "Ralph Lauren" hmm? Show window is quite challenging since it has to reflect the brand's concept (plus the season's concept) and has to look good, intriguing, and attractive. According to that, Louis Vuitton's huge attempt to use Olafur and Takashi Murakami's work in their visual display must've been a challenge for them. To be honest, Murakami's visual display sounded like a joke to me at first. You will know what I am talking about when you see his paintings. Who thought Louis Vuitton will use Takashi's work for their display! It's just brilliant.



Show windows become so much fancier than ever before and here is one of my favorite-
Apple Store 
*Iphone's price went down to about $98...I guess time solves everything for those ppl who wants something that they cannot get in the price when the products first come out. Just Wait, You will get it..ya know?









FANCY FEET



Check out our new sneakers and walkers on the webstore!!





We love Non-no! I love Danaka Miho and she is so unique in her style! I love her short hair-although long hair also look gorgeous on her. Anyways, so I was going through my old files and found these photos of Miho. What do you love the most about her outfit? First thing attract my eyes were those light green tights and white walker she is wearing. When I went back to Korea this winter, walker and sneakers seem to never come down from No.1 trend for many years! Yes, we have other trends such as kill heels, over-the-knee boots and so on. However, I found so many pretty walkers and sneakers all over the place this winter and they intrigued me more than any other shoes! Just match with fun color tights and shorts-or skirts with those sneakers! They are comfortable, and at the same time, super cute.

MODELS section 2



Byul is so chic. We have tons of her photos which often was shot on the street. Her concept we tried to pull out is urban chic. Have you ever seen those NYC gals? I personally think her style is the best example of those New Yorkers style that Korean gals admire. It's comfortable, simple, but still very stylish. And Of course you know that Sunglasses are always must-have item for urban look.



Lizz has very natural and pure face. She has that pretty university student look that I have seen around Seoul. Her style is feminine, mild, and intelligent. I mean, what do you need more? Her outfits are either very mild- like a smudged pastel drawing where she always highlights with one bright item. It can be unique patterned shirts, or accesories- whichever adds cherry on the top of the cake.

MODELS

 
 

Models are awesome.. they are so slim, so beautiful and everything they wear fits perfectly to their body like if those are made just for them. How do they digest every single items so well? When I was teenager just like any other mainstream girls, I always wanted to look like a model. OH those holy appearance!! 

YES! We do have loving models and I think it is time to introduce some of our our models to Storets gals. This week, I will be updating several models who now we have been working with for awhile. First one comes to our one of the dearest model, Seul. 



Does she look familiar to you? She is one of our main model and we love her with that fabulous urban chic style. Also depending on type of clothes she tries on, she shows ability to shift between girl and woman. Don't you agree that her signature smokey eye make-up looks just perfect for her classic oriental face structure?



Second model is Kenzi. Kenzi is candy-type of gal and I love her beautiful long curly hair. Her hair really overloads her classy femine look. My favorite thing about Kenzi is that she shows the best face expression we seek in photoshoot. Be mysterious, models! Her signature dollface expression definitely is huge PLUS upgrading outfits in the photo. Most of the time she is on the clothes that are rather more punky and fun. She really brings out our favorite party gal look.
